The Electoral College elected George Washington unanimously as the first president 
of the United States in 1789. His inauguration on April 30, 1789 became the first U.S.
national holiday in 1889.

          William Henry Harrison (February 9, 1773 – April 4, 1841)

Harrison was 68 years, 23 days old when he elected the ninth President of the
United States (1841), the oldest to be elected to the office until Roland Reagan
in 1980. He died on his 32nd day in office of complications from pneumonia, thus
serving the shortest tenure in U.S. presidential history.

President Lyndon Johnson, concerned that he might not live through another four- 
year term, shocked the nation when he announced at the end of a speech that he
would not run for re-election.

Stephen Grover Cleveland (March 18, 1837 – June 24, 1908)

Grover Cleveland was the 22nd and 24th President of the United States  
and is the only president to serve two non-consecutive terms in office 
(1885-1889 and 1893-1897) and is therefore the only individual to 
be counted twice in the numbering of presidents.

Grover Cleveland was the only Democrat elected to the presidency
in the era of Republican political domination that lasted from 1861
to 1913.
